Killer cows! They’re big! They’re angry! They smell bad! They’re coming! 

The only thing standing in their way is a lonely 14-year-old, whether he’s ready or not…

Randy Meyer is the new kid in Satus Creek, a tiny farm town where nothing ever happens, and his days are filled with tedium. Then one summer afternoon, a meteor crashes nearby. It’s just the first in a series of events that will not only change his life, but threaten the entire planet. Soon after, vicious cows are on the rampage all over the country, and they’re not of this Earth!

Armed with a newly-discovered flying saucer he doesn’t know how to fly, and a misfit group of new friends he doesn’t entirely trust, Randy is forced to grow up fast if he’s going to make decisions that will not only help him fit-in with his new peers, but save the world from a fate worse than death!

Poke the Cow to visit D.M.’s Blog

D.M. Anderson lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, two daughters, two cats and a neurotic dog. He teaches Language Arts at a local middle school, which is where he developed his   interest in reading – and later writing – young adult fiction of various genres. When he isn’t teaching or writing, Anderson enjoys staying up late watching horror movies with his oldest daughter, and accompanying his youngest to her swimming lessons. Other interests include NASCAR, heavy metal music, zombies and Disneyland. Killer Cows, an homage to the old drive-in sci-fi movies he loved as a kid, is his first young adult novel. Since then, he has explored other YA genres, including action (a disaster novel titled Shaken) and horror (The Dark Ride). His future plans also include a sequel to Killer Cows.

 Abby McNabb is a typical fourth grade girl. She hates her hair, thinks her mom is too strict, envies her best friend…Oh, and Abby’s father is crazy. Andy McNabb is a famous author known for his investigations of aliens, ghosts and all things paranormal. This embarrasses Abby to no end, until the day he takes her to America’s Stonehenge, a/k/a Mystery Hill … and for the first time in her life, she sees a ghost, too.

The ghost needs Abby’s help to make Andy remember his birthplace: a star named Gibeon, which crashed to earth hundreds of thousands of years ago.  As Abby, along with her friend Claudia and cousin, Chase, work to uncover the truth about her father’s past and his future, she is faced with losing him forever when destiny pushes him toward his forgotten life.  

Join Abby and her zany father as they explore local New England spooky sites and learn what it means to believe in make believe and trust what you cannot see.
